P RODUCT OVERVIEW
General Information
The Plasmon V Series libraries make multiple LTO tape media available to computer systems for reading
or writing. V Series library capacity ranges from 40 to 102 media. Media may be quickly added or removed
through a five slot bulk load magazine accessed through the front door. With the V68 and V102 models,
individual media may also be added or removed through a mailslot in the front door while the library is on
line.

CAUTION
Do not write on, cover, or obscure the bar codes on a media. Doing so
may cause the system to malfunction.
Barcode Label
For more detailed information about bar code data and how it is read, refer to the V Series SCSI Reference
Manual.
The V Series bar code scanner supports the following bar code symbologies:
•
Code 39
•
Code 128
The bar code string consists of up to 20 alphanumeric characters.
Never place a label anywhere on the media except in the specified "label area", as this may interfere with
the proper handling of the media in the drive or the media transport element (MTE).
Plasmon V Series User Manual
Page 14
Media Care and Handling
To maintain maximum reliability, the operator should take the time to inspect and clean each media used.
CAUTION
Before using the media, condition them to the normal operating
temperature of the room for at least 24 hours.
Improper handling or an inappropriate environment can damage the media. To ensure continued reliability:
•
When media is loaded into the library, or when handling media, ensure that the cartridge
case is clean. Dirty media cartridges can cause problems in loading or the loss of written
data. If a cartridge case is dirty, wipe with a lint free cloth.
•
Do not carry media loosely (for example, in a box or basket).
•
Do not load damaged media into a drive or a library. Damaged media can interfere with
reliability.
•
Never touch the tape. Opening the cartridge door and touching the tape may interfere with
read/write reliability.
•
Do not expose the media to moisture or direct sunlight.
•
Do not expose media to stray magnetic fields greater than 100 oesteds. Such exposure can
cause loss of data.
•
Do not attempt to degauss or AC bulk erase a media. This renders the media unusable.
Product Overview
Page 15
Component Interaction
The following example describes how the library system components interact in a swap media situation,
assuming the library is on-line and media is loaded in the designated drive.
1. The SCSI command Load/Unload is sent from the host to the drive causing the mexcia to
eject.
2. The SCSI command Read Element Status is sent from the host to the library, and the data
transfer element descriptor indicates that the ejected media can be accessed by the library.
3. The SCSI command Exchange Medium is sent from the host to the library, and the storage
slot of a new media is specified.
4. The media transport element (MTE) moves to the drive.
5. The picker extends forward, picks the media out of the drive, and retracts with the media back
into the transport element.
6. The MTE moves to the original location of that media.
7. The picker extends forward and inserts the media back into the storage slot.
8. The MTE then moves to the storage slot of the next requested media.
9. The picker extends forward, picks the media, and retracts with the media back into the
transport element.
10. The MTE moves to the drive position to insert the media into the drive.
11. The picker extends forward and inserts the media into the drive, then retracts back into the
transport element while the drive pulls the media into itself.
12. Completion status is returned to the host.

L IBRARY INSTALLATION
Quick Installation
This section provides a guide to installing the Plasmon V Series library and the procedures necessary to
quickly get the library on-line.
Unpacking the Library
Please follow the unpacking instructions found on the packing material. Verify that all listed components
are present.
1. Using the enclosed key, open the rear door of the library system.
2. Remove all the shipping restraints from the media transport element (MTE).
CAUTION
Use minimum force when removing the restraints and packing
material from the MTE.
Library Position
Position the library in a location that allows both the front and rear door to open completely without
obstruction. Allow at least a two inch clearance on the sides for ventilation. Lower the leveling feet to the
floor to stabilize the library. If the library is a V40 or v60 stand alone model, install the stabilizers following
instructions provided later in this chapter.
Library Installation
Page 23
Loading Media
Use only Plasmon approved LTO Ultrium tape media in the library. Media is loaded into the library using
one of three methods.
•
Mass Loading (recommended): This method is intended as a one time solution to mass
load the entire library with media when the library is off-line and there is no power applied.
•
Automated Mailslot (not available on the V40 and V60 models): This is intended for
importing and exporting a single piece of media while the library is on-line.
•
Five Slot Magazine: This is intended for importing and exporting up to five pieces of media
in a removable magazine while the library is on-line.
Mass Loading (Recommended)
Ensure that the library is turned off and that the power cable is disconnected from the wall outlet.
1. Using the enclosed key, open the rear door of the library system.
The rack mount versions do not have a rear door. The rear panel must be removed by
removing the screws.
2. Insert the media into the slots with the tape door end of the media going in first.
NOTE
There are no requirements for loading media in a specific order.
Plasmon recommends filling the storage slots in numerical order,
starting with slot number one. See the storage slot map on the inside
of the rear door for the storage slot numbering system.
3. Completely insert the media into the storage slot until it contacts the rear of the storage slot.
Figure 6. Mass Loading Media
4. Continue loading all media in the storage slots.
5. Close and lock the rear door.
Plasmon V Series User Manual
Page 24
Automated Mailslot
The automated mailslot (not on the V40 and V60 models) is for importing and exporting single media while
the library is on-line.
Figure 7. Using the Mailslot
Using the front panel, a single piece of media can be imported or exported through the mailslot door. Once
the appropriate key is selected on the front panel, the door opens automatically and a media carrier
extends outwards to accept a media. Insert a piece of media into the carrier so that the tape door end of
the cartridge goes in first. Again, using the front panel, select the appropriate key to close the mailslot door.
In most cases, the library management software is used to open and close the mailslot door. The host
computer handles this operation.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to load a media in the mailslot until the media carrier is
extended through the open door. The door should never be opened
manually.
Five Slot Magazine
The five slot bulk magazine allows the loading of five pieces of media at one time while the librari is on-line.
To use the magazine:
1. Release the magazine from the library using the Release Magazine menu option on the front
panel display. Refer to Chapter 3, Menu System for information.
2. Remove the magazine from the library.
3. Open the media catch lever.
4. Load media into the magazine.
5. Close the media catch lever.
6. Replace the magazine into the library.
Library Installation
Page 25
Inside the Front Door
The front door makes accessible the power switch, the connector for the power cable, and the library
interface connectors (SCSI connectors).
Power Connection
Route the power cable through the bottom of the machine to the power cable connector. Using the
supplied cable restraint, attach the cable and secure to the library with the Phillips head screw provided.
Figure 8. Power Connection for V Series Libraries
The power cable can be plugged into a standard 120 volt to 240 volt wall outlet. The library system uses an
auto-ranging power supply.
Do not use an extension cord. The unit must be located next to the AC outlet, and the outlet must be easily
accessible. In the event an emergency power cutoff is required, pull the plug from the AC socket.
SCSI Connection
The library requires a host computer with a dedicated LVD/SE-SCSI host bus adapter. Power off the library
and disconnect from the wall outlet before connecting the SCSI cable. Route the SCSI cable through the
bottom of the library to the appropriate library SCSI connector.
NOTE
The SCSI buses are terminated inside the library. It is not necessary
to use a terminator on the SCSI bus.
SCSI Cables
Plasmon recommends using SCSI cables that conform to SCSI-3 specifications with high density 68-pin
connectors. The special design of the Plasmon V Series libraries allows a maximum external SCSI cable
length of 12 meters (39 ft.) for the standard LVD interface, and 3 meters (9 ft.) for a SE interface.
Plasmon V Series User Manual
Page 26
Initial Power On
Turn on the power switch and close the front door.
The library takes a few minutes to initialize. When the process is completed, the front panel indicates that
the library is on-line and ready for operation.
Host Computer
It may be necessary to reboot the host computer for it to recognize the library as a new device.
Some modifications to the host hardware or operating system may be necessary for it to recognize the
library. These modifications may include patches, driver updates, or modifications to the configuration files.
Please consult the host hardware or operating system documentation to see if any of these modifications
are necessary. Then if necessary, contact the hardware or software vendor for the appropriate patch or
update.

Rack Mount Guidelines
This section provides information for mounting a Plasmon library into an Electronics Industry Association
(EAI 310-D) standard 19” / 483mm rack. The standard 19-inch rack must be a minimum of 36” (inches)
deep to provide sufficient depth for the library. Plasmon recommends mounting the library at the bottom of
the rack leaving 1.75” (1U) minimum space for cable routing. The library height is 43.3” / 116cm and uses
25U of a standard rack.
If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, refer to the following guidelines:
•
The operation temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature. Be sure to install the unit in an environment that is compatible with the
maximum rated ambient temperature. See Appendix A Specifications.
•
When mounting the equipment in the rack, make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a
hazardous condition. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment.
•
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, check equipment nameplate ratings to
avoid overloading circuits that may cause damage to over-current protection devices and
supply wiring.
•
Maintain reliable grounding for rack-mounting equipment. Pay particular attention to supply
connections.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation
of the unit and to protect it from overheating, maintain a minimum 1 inch clearance on the
top and sides.
•
Allow sufficient air circulation or space between units when installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might
be greater than room ambient.
•
The unit is designed to use a three pronged grounding type plug. Equipment grounding
ensures safe operation. Do not defeat the grounding means and verify equipment is
reliably grounded when mounted within a rack.
Required Tools
The following tools are required to install the rack mount assembly:
•
Slotted screwdriver
•
#2 phillips head screwdriver

Packing Instructions (V40 - V102)
This section is provided in case it is necessary to ship the library back to Plasmon. These procedures must
be followed.
CAUTION
Plasmon libraries must be shipped in the original packaging. Shipping
a unit in anything other than the manufacturers packaging voids the
warranty.
The library must be parked before packing the system (refer to the SetUp Library menu in Chapter 3 Menu
System). Remove all media before shipping the library. The storage element detents are not strong
enough to hold the media during shipment.
Follow these steps to pack the library for shipping:
1. When powered off the media transport element (MTE) moves to bottom of library. Position it
as shown in the picture below.
2. Place foam support under MTE, and attach foam tube to one of the lift bars as shown in the

ERROR C ODES
In the event of an error while on-line, the library retries the operation that failed. If this operation fails, the
library attempts to return the media to their location before the operation started, and sends an error code
to the host computer. This error code is displayed on the front panel of the library.
The following error codes are provided to assist in detecting the cause or finding a corrective action for a
library error. Note the error code number displayed on the front panel, then find the corresponding error
